Hey guys Crystal here with another sprain for your brain. Have any of you ever gotten a call telling you that you won a trip to some place fabulous, but then the telemarketer tells you that you have to pay a one time processing fee or something to get your trip? I mean come on if I won it shouldn't it be mine with no strings attached? What's your take on this? If you win something but you have to pay for something then technically you really haven't won anything right? Take for example you sign up for a service, and the reason you sign up in the first place is because you get a month of service free, but it turns out you have to pay the first 2 months upfront and the third month is free. I ask you where is the benefit in that? Shouldn't the first month be free?

oh i really like to mess with those calls. i had one a few weeks ago saying that all i had to do was sign up for rolling stone magizine and i would be eligable for $10,000. so i played along and told them my name and mailing address and get this they asked what my phone number was- like i was the one calling them to be entered.
i could hear a guy in the back ground telling the chick on the phone what to say and before she could i ask i would answer. i heard phones going off and several people in the back ground giving the same speal to other people. the whole thing made me laugh. according to the lady on the phone the computers were down and she couldnt process my request to be entered. i told her that was fine and that it didn't mean anything to me anyways. then i heard her say "holy sh*t" i thought that was funny- i hung up the phone cracking up it was so rehearsed.
